Glycosidases

A selection of colorimetric and fluorescent enzyme substrates for the glycosidase, also known as glycoside hydrolases or glycosyl hydrolases. Glycosidases primary role is in the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds found in complex sugars.

4-Nitrophenyl-β-D- galactosidase
p-Nitrophenyl-β-D-galactoside
PNP-β-D-Gal

White to off white crystalline powder
Chromogenic β-galactosidase substrate yielding a yellow solution upon cleavage. Can be used for the detection of c..

Bluo-gal is used as an alternative to X-gal that produces a darker blue color. Bluo-Gal is hydrolyzed by β-galactosidase to produce a blue precipitate. This precipitate is insoluble in alcohol and xylenes, thus making it suitable for immunoblotting and immunocytochemical assays. Bacterial colon..

5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indoxyl-α-D-glucopyranoside
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY GRADE
X-α-D-Glucoside is a white to off-white microcrystalline powder that is used as a chromogenic substrate for α-D-glucosidase, yielding a blue precipitate. It is used for the detection of Staphyl..
